Premise Modifiers- Interpretation

“Thompson’s most famous poem ‘The Hound of Heaven”
described as the pursuit of a human soul by God.
|
“One possible motive for The Ripper to have killed
these five women, and sent letters to the press, was that he thought that he
had been chosen be God, and that he thought that he was the voice of God.
Perhaps by killing these five women he would be inflicting five wounds upon
society’s church, goverment, science,literature, and people.”

that it is claimed Thompson took to
the streets to find her.”

Intention- Coexistence

“In all five murders the nearest landmark is
Christ Church of Whitechapel. It was built in 1714 and completed in 1729. It
still dominates the surrounding street-scape with its portico and spire.”
|
“In the middle ages, when the Roman Catholic
Church dominated England, there were in existence areas of land, usually a
church and surrounding sacred ground, known as sanctuaries. A sanctuary was a
safe harbor for the accused.”

Formal Analysis
|
“Back then, if someone committed murder but
reached a sanctuary then they could avoid arrest. It was reasoned that if a
suspect was truly guilty then their fate was under the jurisdiction not of
the sherrif, but of God. If a suspect could enter sacred ground without
suffering a blight from heaven then it was reasoned that they must be innocent.”

You have good data, you just need to explain how it buildings into the argumentative style. If you looked at what all these aspects of arguments create you will be able to give a fantastic presentation. Same goes for the fallacies, while all your examples are good you just need to explain what they do to the argument. You've done 85% of the work already now you just need to put it into a thesis.
ReplyDeleteI like the fallacies you have listed. Now all you need is a thesis. Thesis wise, If you combine this information with the perelman concepts you could make a reasonable argument about the author's intentions? idk you can do alot with good information so keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great argument in with Perelman. When you are presenting your argument point out that he thought he was the "messiah" and he could hide out in the sanctuary. Relate it back to God then talk about the "messiah" again.
